Golden Age or Dark Age?

Two days ago, I was reading a story and in the story two of the characters were having a conversation. The two characters are older characters who have seen a lot and have been around a lot and one of the characters is speaking of today. There are two sentences spoken by one of the characters that somehow rang true to me. It rang true to me because in those two sentences it seemed to sum up my observations and opinions of one industry in particular. The two sentences read, “This should be a golden age ushered in on the wings of science and technology. Instead, it is the opposite. The start of a new dark age, using those same tools to spread ignorance and fear.”

It seems like just a little bit of time ago, in reality thirty years ago, I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area working and taking an introduction to computer science class. I was fascinated with the new technology and had to learn what it was all about so that I could move forward in my life with some fundamental knowledge of how the technology worked. It was being touted that this “new technology that would increase productivity and save time for all of us”. In the class, I learned about inputs, outputs, memory, and the computer processing unit (CPU). Within a couple of years I was using an IBM 286 to manipulate data and do word processing. Within another couple of years I was learning how to write code and at the same time explore this new medium called the internet in which I could instantly in my house or in a computer lab communicate and or share ideas and information with others. It seemed to me to be the dawn of a golden age in which information would flow much more freely and quickly than it had up to that time.

It was interesting to note that I remember speaking with the first person that I bought a computer from in 1993. This gentleman essentially bought the computer components and assembled the complete machine for his customers. In a conversation he talked about being in Berkeley California in the 1980’s running in computer geek crowds and meeting Bill Gates. The gentleman that I bought the assembled computer remembered Bill Gates as the geek of geeks and yet he always had a crowd of people around him. By the time I was told this story in 1992 Microsoft was well on its way to the dominance that it developed and currently maintains.

Regardless, I was riding high on the power of the personal computer and the internet as I was able to research, perform calculations, and find spare parts and machinery that otherwise could not be found much easier than it had been before. I think one of the biggest boons for me was the word processing capability because I have never liked typing considering all of the mistakes I make when writing. It was awesome! Suddenly, friends of mine who lived in the San Francisco Bay Area were encouraging me to move back there as they were taking jobs at startups with huge stock options with promises of personal fortunes. Needless to say I was starting to become uncomfortable with how non-technical people were starting to become experts in high tech. Again, secretaries were becoming millionaires. I chose not to move and thank goodness I did not because when the dot com bubble burst some of these same friends lost their jobs and their stock options became worthless. For me personally the euphoric bubble was beginning to burst.

The survivors of this bloodletting only became bigger and stronger and little did I know some of these of the strongest and biggest companies were receiving protections from the US Government. Evidently, as they became bigger they also started using their new found wealth to begin lobbying and out right supporting political candidates. It is little wonder as I sit here now and reminisce that I was becoming disillusioned with the industry instinctively. All the while they became larger and larger. It did not help that new program versions and hardware “versions” were being pushed every year or two and I just could not bring myself to keep up when I had machines that were running perfectly good. I could sense that the technologists had been replaced by greedoligists as the user interfaces became more and more glitzy despite the user functionality remaining essentially the same and in fact decreasing in many cases as the software became more and more proprietary locking me out of certain capabilities.

The last programming language that I learned was C++ and I realized that programming was advancing at rate far faster than I cared to match and so I kind of turned my focus on other items periodically upgrading my computers to newer, faster, and more complex machines. Although I will admit that one of the most frustrating trends at the time was all the extra programs provided on these new machines that were difficult to remove. Quite honestly I never really felt comfortable that I had removed all the superfluous programs and as a consequence that the machine ran as fast as it could but I never really paid too much attention or devoted too much time to “clean” all the garbage programs out of my machines. It began to feel that the machine really was not truly my machine but that I was somehow paying for a machine that someone else could control and manipulate.

This became even more noticeable over the years when due to the increase in interconnectivity updates began being pushed out to my machines, licenses to run certain software packages required one to be online, and security due to hacking and other malicious code became so sophisticated and pervasive that to even visit and use some sites I had to keep my computer security up to date. Thus requiring my machine to be nearly always connected to the internet. My machine became even less my machine but rather like something I am leasing with someone always watching my every move and I have to pay for it. Oh and yes, if you think you are not being watched when you are online I have known this for quite some time and really it is not too difficult to tell that someone is watching you.

Now here we are today and we have FANG (Facebook, Amazon, Netflix and Google) who have essentially become the most powerful companies in the world. Some of whom enjoy the privilege of Section 230 protection and have actually benefitted from the COVID “pandemic” as people have been brow beat into being fearful of going out and meeting people in person. Like Amazon’s destruction of small and even large brick and mortar businesses now they enjoy the benefit of having governments actually destroy their competition while they become larger and larger and more and more powerful. Ever so much more powerful that using technologies perfected with their partners in Communist China they apparently have even been able to turn tools of mass censorship on the country that spawned them. So much for the euphoria that I once associated with the internet; the medium that could provide for free flow and dissemination of information and that could provide so much more freedom to the world.

Make no mistake of my opinion but that I have no doubt that several if not all of these companies have colluded at some level with the Communist Chinese Party (CCP). It is my opinion that if a company has done business in China they have had to make deals as the CCP is the most powerful authoritarian regime on the face of the earth currently. In order to do business in CCP controlled China these companies had to develop censorship algorithms. Now it appears the FANG have colluded with the Democratic Party and have conspired to cheat America out of a free and fair elections. I just wonder where the lines between the CCP and FANG exist because from my point of view the lines are very very blurry.

Additionally, I know look back on the history of recent elections in California and even the state that I live in and have to wonder how long this apparent digital vote cheating has been going on? Additionally, in all the other states that are using computerized voting systems? It is my opinion that the union between the big tech giants, the Democratic Party, elements of the Republican Party, the mainstream media and now apparently the CCP is an unholy alliance and an out and out criminal alliance. Freedom is euphoric but what we have now is oppression that is rapidly leading to a disintegration of social cohesion in the United States that is not going to end up good for many many tens if not more tens of millions of people. One that if not stopped now may be too late to be stopped if it indeed it is not already too late. Will the next four years bring us more fear and ignorance or will they bring us more jobs, freedoms, and be more akin to a golden age?

Article III Section 2

Having now had two days since the Supreme Court chose not to hear the case between Texas against the four states whose elections rules were changed by their executive and or judicial branches, I am troubled. First, however, I thought I would inform my readers of sections specifically of the US Constitutions and some legal definitions. I inform because I first had to inform myself before writing this

First is Article III Section 2 paragraph 2 which reads:

In all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party, the supreme Court shall have original Jurisdiction. In all other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

Second, I call attention to Article II Section 1 paragraph 2:

Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress: but no Senator or Representative, or Person holding and Office of Trust or Profit under the United States, shall be appointed an Elector.

It seems to me the case that the Supreme Court made the decision not to hear centered upon these two paragraphs. The first paragraph provides the Supreme Court jurisdiction and responsibility and the second seems to be a valid argument to justify a hearing. However, all except two justices chose not to hear the case which I cannot find a justification for their actions in my mind.

In the Supreme Court response they said, “The State of Texas’ motion for leave to file a bill of complaint is denied for lack of standing under Article III of the Constitution. Texas has not demonstrated a judicially cognizable interest in the manner in which another State conducts its elections.”

So, looking up the legal meaning of standing I found the following definition on the freedicitionary.com which reads, “The legally protectable state or interest that an individual has in a dispute that entitles him to bring the controversy before the court to obtain judicial relief.”

I will admit that I did not read Texas’ briefs provided to the Supreme Court and so cannot be sure of their arguments and for the sake of this post on what is otherwise an obscure blog in an obscure corner or the internet it does not matter. I say it does not matter because I am not a constitutional scholar nor am I an attorney. What I am is a practitioner of applied physics. A world in which, except on the fringes, the laws are absolute and work in nearly all applications that they are applied.

Looking at this and using the definition of standing I can agree that a state really does not have grounds to argue how another state’s legislature prescribes the way their electors are chosen. After all, as I typed above Article II states that a state’s Legislature may direct the way their electors are chosen. What I do not understand is in the contested states the state’s Judicial and Executive branches subverted or elaborated upon the manner which the electors are being chosen. In that case it does affect me because it crosses boundaries separating powers and is grossly unconstitutional and undermines and sets precedent for the same sorts of actions in my state. What the Supreme Court has essentially said is this is acceptable conduct in any state which makes me very uneasy.

Granted I am not a Constitutional scholar and the erudite students of law can probably come up with all sorts of reasons why the Supreme Court was justified in their decisions I cannot. To me it seems like s shirking of responsibility and displays a total disregard for the Constitution by the justices. In a time of struggle between judicial activism and a disputed and questionable election that threatens to destabilize and erode confidence in our Constitutional republic the Supreme Court Justices punted by saying their decision was based on merits but rather grounds. I for one would like to see an explanation of why the justices chose not to hear the case besides a curt two sentence statement.

Random Musings 12.11.20

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I am reading the breaking news about the Covid vaccine and question why many are hell bent on purchasing and distributing the Pfizer vaccine. Something bothers me about putting something in my body that must be super cooled and could potentially affect the RNA of my body. Another thing that bothers me is the rumors that the US Military has already purchased large doses of this vaccine for distribution to our troops. Again I call on the leaders of this country to please do not allow our military to be used as guinea pigs for the vaccine. Right now the only vaccine I am remotely comfortable with is the Oxford Astra Zeneca vaccine which uses similar technology to previous vaccines and additionally it does not need to be super cooled when stored.

Another thing is to all of these government officials who say they will take the vaccine in public to set an example. Pardon my cynicism but I know how easy it would be to fill a syringe up with a saline solution and play it off as a dose of the vaccine. I personally would prefer to catch the virus right now and treat it like President Trump and Rudolph Giuliani and countless others have and survived.

Chinese honey traps?!? Hmm, some things never change in the espionage game. The good representative from California should immediately be stripped of his security clearance and seat on the House Intelligence Committee pending the outcome of whatever investigation that may be underway if there is one underway.

I am smiling at the actions of Texas and the other 18 states who have enjoined the lawsuit and are challenging the states who have apparently committed fraud against the elections. I am frowning at the states who have filed amicus briefs in support of Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Georgia. Of course the states supporting the four states are Democrat Party controlled states such as California, Nevada, and others. I know, big surprise there. I am patiently awaiting what the Supreme Court has to say about this as, to me, this is one of the biggest cases in my lifetime. Even bigger than Florida in 2000 and I certainly hope the Supreme Court takes it up despite the perils fraught with whatever decision they make. Of course, personally, I hope the Supreme Court rules against judicial activism and executive overreach and goes with a conservative originalist interpretation of The Constitution.

Please, whoever is responsible for the security of the Supreme Court Justices and their families security, do your job. I would not put it past radicals on either side but especially the left to find a way to threaten them. Now, if one of them has been dumb enough to compromise themselves then let it come to light so they can be impeached and removed from office because they do not deserve to sit on the bench.

I watched news reports of the city of Los Angeles’ new District Attorney stating that he will not enforce select laws, eliminate cash bail and a host of other actions. Isn’t this just another example, similar to judicial activism, of an elected official overstepping their authority? One man who has been elected using money from an enemy of the state (George Soros) and probably money from Nancy Pelosi considering the new AG is from San Francisco to one position is legislating. To me this is unconstitutional and borderline if not outright criminal. Once again Pelosi ways are being exported to another city to feed off of and destroy. Baltimore to San Francisco to Los Angeles and let us hope not the United States.

I am listening to people who are afraid of threatened violence by the left should the election be legally overturned by the Supreme Court and a legal count is ordered which overturns the election. I personally do not believe we should be concerned as I am fully confident that true patriots have been keeping quiet, preparing and most importantly keeping their powder dry. It may not be pretty but it may be necessary to ensure the survival of our constitutional republic.

Larry Sanger, the founder of Wikipedia, has announced a boycott of You Tube. I love it Mr. Sanger!

I heard a new term on HRR today who is posting on Brighteon and it is Techno Fascist. Thank you!

Random Musings 12.7.20

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter and Facebook would censor what I have to say any way.

I am sitting down to type after a couple of days of not feeling well. Never fear I did not have COVID or at least I do not think I had COVID as I felt better in two days and only had a slight fever, sore throat, and tight chest. Who knows maybe I did have COVID and just handled it? Well safe to say I am not going to go get tested because I feel better and who knows I may have just had a common cold! I know shocking and inconceivable isn’t it?!?

I am reading about the cabinet selections that Joe Bidden is making in his illegitimate claim to be the “President Elect”. After what to me has been an energizing last four years despite the nonstop back biting and outright attempts to oust President Trump I look at Joe Biden’s picks and suddenly feel de-energized. It feels as if a bunch of vampires are lining up to reestablish and or establish (i.e. big tech) their positions at the blood fest. All the old and new names with the same old ideas and corrupt agendas are lining up at the trough to pierce their teeth into the life blood of America after a four year long unexpected period of fasting. Though I will argue there have been several who have managed to hang on despite President Trump’s efforts to clear them out of government. After all, four years is such a short amount of time to do so considering the leaches have had a century or more to establish their colonies in the swamp, our educational system, bureaucratic institutions, politically connected businesses, and other “social” institutions.

I am in no hurry to learn the results of a fair election in which only legal votes are counted. It is now or never because I see no other way out of the morass of corruption amidst the coordinated attack on our Constitutional Republic being perpetrated by enemies foreign and domestic. I should say I see no other peaceful way as if the socialists are allowed to gain power illegally as it will entrench their hold on the levers of power. Levers of power that they will use by whatever means necessary to maintain their hold on power. Again, I know of no other socialist regime that has peacefully relinquished power once they have obtained power.  

I just recently learned that Paul Ryan, an obvious globalist never Trumper, was put on the board of Fox News. To some this is old news but new news to me and suddenly many pieces fell into place in my understanding of the tilt Fox News has recently taken. Of course, I only watch a few shows on the network at most and now I am now questioning why I pay extra to be able to watch it. Again, I am questioning why I pay money to companies who despise me and my freedoms?

Memo to Paul Ryan; President Trump has earned the right to be a leader in his own right by creating a successful business and winning one election despite being an outside and obviously would be winning the current election if it were not for the increasingly apparent meddling and fraud perpetrated on a grand scale. You are nothing more than a government hack who has made your wealth off the backs of taxpayers. The only reason you have your job at Fox News is your political connections built up over the decades as a public servant on the taxpayer’s dole. I have the same amount of respect for you that you have for me which apparently is zero.

Lord Mark Malloch-Brown is going to become President of George Soros’ Open Society Foundation?!?! Wow, though this is legal is there any doubt now that George Soros is not behind the apparent mass election fraud in the last election. Lord Mark Malloch-Brown!?!? The same Lord Mark Malloch-Brown who is currently the chairman of the Smartmatic voting system’s parent company, Dominion Systems?

This morning I was working out and half watching and half listening to Pearson Sharp on One America News. In the segment he stood in front of chalkboard with numbers and state names written on the board and at the top of the board underlined were the words, “Election Breakdown”. I began listening to his presentation and within minutes I had stopped working out and was staring at the numbers on the chalkboard as he made his way through the presentation. On the right sight of the board he presented numbers from Nevada in the most recent Presidential election first with a breakdown. In the state of Nevada Biden “won” by 33,000 votes. However, according to Mr. Sharp there were 1,500 votes cast by dead people, 2,500 votes cast by voters who changed addresses, 6,000 votes cast from addresses that are vacant, 8,000 votes cast from nonexistent addresses, 15,000 votes cast from commercial addresses, 20,000 votes cast from out of state addresses, and 42,000 double votes cast for a total of 95,000. In case anyone is wondering, apparently, all these votes are considered fraudulent votes which means there were 95,000 fraudulent votes counted.

So, the next question I ask is how many of these 95,000 fraudulent votes went for Joe Biden? Call me cynical but I have a feeling the vast majority of these fraudulent votes when for Joe Biden. Mr. Pearson then went on to show Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, Michigan and Georgia numbers comparing the number of fraudulent votes to Joe Biden’s “margin of victory”. In each state the number of fraudulent votes far exceeds the margins of victory. Even more stench effluviates from the mainstream media, big tech, entrenched politicians, and bureaucrats on both sides of the aisle in their choice to ignore these numbers in their race to embrace Joe Biden.

What bothers me most about all of this is that I am just supposed to shut up and push the I believe button by the press, big tech, and the elites. They all say, “Let’s all just accept that Joe Biden won so we can move on, fix the problems and all get along”. I say bull pucky! I have been hearing that mantra my whole life as politically connected and correct people use the government to squash competition to their benefit while active as if they are morally superior while my quality of life has been under constant attack. It will never be fixed in a Joe Biden administration and in fact it will only get worse. Just look at what Big Tech has accomplished in California which is now a one party state. Bleh, I see you and you are not beautiful despite all your plastic surgery, pontifications, and supposed moral authority. You are deceitful, conniving, power hungry, hard to look at, hard to listen to and generally repulsive.

Let me finish this missive be offering my gratitude the veterans, the memory of deceased veterans and the generation who fought and lived to see the United States and allies to victory in World War II on this Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day.

A Thanksgiving Proclamation

The following has been reprinted without the permission of anyone, however, the source of this proclamation is A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents 1789-1908, by James D. Richardson, Representative from the state of Tennessee, 1908, Published by the Bureau of National Literature and Art:

Proclamation

A National Thanksgiving

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and

Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them and opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness;”

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enabled to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted; for the civil and religious liberty with which are blessed, and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations, and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all, whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all sovereigns and nations (especially such as have shown kindness to us), and to bless them with good governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally, to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

Random Musings 11.19.20

Once again it is time for some Twitter (for those with a litigious bent there is a trademark symbol just after the “r” in the previous word) like random musings from the mind of a quiet, unassuming, at least in my own opinion, person observing the ramblings, rumblings and revelations in the media. Additionally, it appears that Twitter would most likely censor what I have to say any way and Facebook certainly would censor what I have to say.

I listened to the news this morning while working out and there are reports of intimidation against Republican poll watchers and against an attorney who is or perhaps was working on one of President Trump’s lawsuits against the election results. One of the stories takes place in Michigan and the other takes place in Pennsylvania. These would then be examples, if proven true, of thuggish brutish and criminal behavior and the perpetrators of these crimes need to be held accountable.

So, Google starts Google Pay and thus creates their own bank, Amazon has now gone into the pharmacy business all announced in the span of a whole two days. Geez, who has been making money during this pandemic while countless numbers of small businesses are shuttered? Yet again, can anyone say anti-trust?

California Governor Newsom caught on camera with leaders and a lobbyist of California’s medical community eating in one of the most expensive restaurants in the country. That in and of itself stinks in the midst of a pandemic but to add icing to the cake none of them wore personal protective equipment (ppe), they were sat indoors, and the whole party of twelve was packed around a table with obviously less than six feet between each of them. Can you say hypocrisy?

What bothers me most is that Governor Newsom can meet with the so called medical leaders of the state for dinner in a group of twelve, which by the way exceeds the maximum allowed by state edict, to one could ostensibly assume to discuss their next actions against the citizens of California in the name of the pandemic. This while on the other side they are placing increasing numbers of counties in “purple” status which shuts down restaurants and are encouraging people to not hold Thanksgiving Dinners in their own homes. Wow, do you think perhaps Governor Newsom, his handlers and minions and all of the others across the country, (i.e. Governor Cuomo) and etc. like him do not want families, friends, and associates to gather because they fear political repercussions? You know the sort of political repercussions that could germinate when friends, family, and associates gather, talk, and begin comparing notes so to speak.

Let us not forget that the British did allow large gatherings in the days leading up to the American Revolution as have plenty of other dictators and etc. throughout the course of human history. Let us not forget that often the Sons of Liberty met in taverns throughout the American Colonies because obviously this fact has not been lost on the perpetrators of the COVID restrictions.

I just finished watching he press conference with President Trump’s attorneys and have to say I am encouraged. I am still digesting a fair amount of it but have to say overall it was encouraging despite Mayor Giuliani’s perspiration streaked face. Of course doing a Yahoo search I pull up the headlines such as” Giuliani quotes ‘My Cousin Vinny’ as he sets out conspiracy theories at bizarre press conference”, “Most respectable lawyers have quit Trump’s lawsuits…”, and “Confusion as Trump’s lawyers how press conference nest to sex shop”. I personally think Sidney Powell and especially Jenna Ellis were very well laid out. Ms. Ellis mentioned, and I am paraphrasing, that these are essentially opening statements and that the case is not to be judged in the court of public opinion but rather in the legal system. Therefore, there is no need to provide the details to the press. So true! If you are to believe Yahoo News one would think that the team is nothing but a bunch of crackpot conspiracy theorists. I wonder if they are saying this because each of the attorneys called the members of the press for their lack of objective reporting. I for one am patient and would like to see this played out in court. I certainly do not believe an iota of what the media is reporting. In fact, seeing the facts that can be laid out in the manner that they have been so far seems to me that more investigating is needed. I lived through the election of 2000 and it took much longer to resolve than has expired so far in since this current election was supposedly held.

One last thought is when people need to be bullied, censored, and otherwise threatened and intimidated into a view other than what they initially believe I ask myself why? I ask myself who are the people doing the bullying and intimidating and what are they hiding and trying to pull over on me? Something stinks when this simultaneously occurs geographically disperse areas and at the same time. Kind of like the “spontaneous’ eruption of protests and riots across the country as if on cue and with equal fervor.  

Tech Tyranny

I sit down to type today very conscious of the tyranny of the big tech oligopoly. This after watching the news concerning the Senate’s Judiciary Committee and a deep shiver went up and down my spine when Mark Zuckerberg all but admitted that tech companies are colluding and sharing information. That and evidently there is some sort of algorithm or software that is monitoring or sharing data between the big platforms that, in my mind, could be used for mass censorship, deplatforming, and essentially cancelling users without any due process. If I remember right the names mentioned on Tucker Carlson last night were Centra and Tasks. Mark Zuckerberg out and out lied when he said he was too familiar with Centra. Anyone looking at him could tell he was lying. Can I probe it? No, but I know deep inside he was.

Do I expect Congress to do anything about it? Let’s see, lame duck session, Senatorial majority in question, Presidential election in question, massive campaign donations to members of both parties, and who knows what sort of blackmail the tech giants and I would have to say no. Let’s hope for the survival of our democracy that President Trump prevails in his refutation and questioning of this election and that the control of the Senate does not switch parties because then for sure nothing will happen. To be honest I do not expect much to happen either way but at least there will be an outside chance that something will happen to Section 230 and quite frankly, in the case of Tasks, the potential for antitrust charges.

Of course Tasks was probably allowed by DHS, the CIA and or another three letter agency in the fight against terrorism. So, yet again something stinks in this exchange and it smells of corruption and abuse of power.

Speaking of the abuse of power I listened to an interview of retired Air Force LT General Thomas McInerny today and his discussion about voter machines and the software used to run these machines. You have got to be effin’ kidding me!!! There is no doubt now in my mind that this software to be used against foreign adversaries is quite possibly being used against the rank and file US citizen. I am spitting angry that no one is providing a platform for this man. Is this why General Flynn was falsely accused because he knew the potential and possibility of how this was being used? Was he the reason this was not used against the American people effectively last election? Is it because he has been effectively taken out this election cycle that it appears to have been used against us on such a wide scale this election? I wonder how much of this is being obfuscated and hidden under the guise of national security?!? I wonder if there is a connection between big tech and flawed software and hardware in the voting machines?

Now that I have vented and let anyone know how I feel in this moment what really bothers me is I wonder who is recording and archiving all of my movements, posts, searches, and etc. on the internet? I wonder if this will be used against me and my family in the future? Fortunately, I really have never trusted Facebook and even less Twitter and so I do not have too large a footprint on these platforms. But after learning of Tasks and Centra I have to wonder if cookies and other spyware have been put on machines without my knowledge gathering all sorts of data. I wonder how much the huge data centers in Senator Lee and Senator Romney’s Utah and in other states have regarding me? Yes, Mr. Carlson, the hair on my back is standing up, has been standing up and now that it is being confirmed what I consider to be righteous anger and fear have been building in my soul. Fear that I have no privacy and anger that I have no privacy.

Now, I suppose, I will have to actively seek out, find, and implement ways to limit my digital footprint. It is confirmed and though I have left some breadcrumbs just to see who might be watching my activities as I have suspected for at least a decade I can now confirm that Facebook and Twitter have. So, I now have to assume that Google, Amazon, the NSA, CIA and or FBI also have been tracking m and that certain groups probably even have record of my specific votes. It turns my stomach and further erodes my faith in the system which just seems to be so so very corrupt.

Additionally, I am still waiting for some consequences to be doled out to Comey and Clapper. Do I have a lot of faith that it will be doled out? No, and it further serves to make me sick. IF I had done what some of these people seem to have done I would be busting rocks in Leavenworth. But then again Hilary Clinton and all of her minions are still walking free so no big surprise.

Scam at the Fringes

I remember many years ago reading a newspaper, when there was still some actual journalism happening and not propaganda, about some people who were arrested for a unique scam. In the scam, if I remember right some bankers and or accountants set up a scam in which they shaved fractions of cents off of financial transactions which in large transactions or spread over a huge amount of transactions and deposited these fractions of cents were deposited into bank accounts controlled by the scammers. At first glance one would not think that would amount to a whole lot of money but since I am an engineer and work with numbers I will provide an easy example. Let me state that these are not the actual figures of the scam but for the sake of this argument I am presenting a simplified example.

Say for instance one is brokering a $1,000,000 transaction in which their firm charges a 10% commission. That means the brokerage firm that the accountants and bankers work with will get a $100,000 commission. If say, for instance, 1/10th of a cent is shaved digitally during the transaction of the commissions then if a penny is 1/100 of a dollar then 1/10th of the 1/100th means 1/1000th of the $100,000 is shaved or $100 is shaved. From this I say ok, no big deal, a hundred dollars will fill two of my cars up with gas with some left over to get a weeks’ worth of groceries. Please do not get me wrong I would not be happy losing the $100 but compared to the overall transaction the $100 is actually 1/10,000 of the original $1,000,000.

Where this scam becomes interesting is when there are many separate and un related transactions occurring in which this 1/10th of a cent is shaved and collected into this account or several accounts controlled by the same group of scammers. In the United States I am sure there are more than hundreds of millions if not billions of transactions happening on any given day. For the sake of this argument let’s say a $100 million dollars is transacted and 1/10,000 or this $100 million is $10,000. If a billion dollars is transacted in a day 1/10,000 of the one billion is $100,000. Now we are looking at some serious money that was made in a single day by shaving off the edges of the hundreds if not thousands of financial transactions occurring without anyone really noticing for a significant length of time. The malfeasance and illegal activity of the conspirators did not attract the notice of regulators and law enforcement for significant amount of time.

Why do I bring this scam up on a blog dedicated to the Constitution you may ask? Well, I will answer your question, it is because I cannot get this scam out of my head observing the events of the past months that have culminated with the election this past week. Specifically, the calls by the press and Democrats asking for proof of election fraud and making statements that there is no wide spread voter fraud. When I began to hear of this the previous mentioned fraud was the first thought that came to mind. Number one there is increasing evidence of election fraud. This is substantiated by the fact the numbers of people beginning to sign affidavits to the fact that they witnessed fraud, coercion, and lack of transparency belies this fact.

Secondly, I would like to posit that there may be wide spread and organized fraud hid in plain sight. Hid in plain sight similar to the fraud committed by bankers, computer programmers, and accountants in the scam I mentioned. It is just too convenient that a voter machine switched votes from President Trump to Joe Biden in Michigan that would not have been caught had it not switched a traditionally Republican district and someone actually looked into the switch. It is my understanding that this machine is used in over thirty states and let us say for instance 1/10,000 of the votes were switched to Joe Biden. Would anyone notice?

To imagine a scenario in which 30 states has this happen and 140 million people total in the country voted. If 3/5 of the states have this machine this would mean 3/5 of 140 million people is 84 million people. If 1/10,000 of these 84 million votes were switched this would mean 8,400 votes were switched and no one would notice. If 1/1,000 of the votes were switched this would mean 84,000 votes were switched and no one would notice because they are spread over thirty states and multiple counties. In this election there are more than thirty states who used this machine and in states with large populations.

Now, we have in some of the large cities controlled by Democratic Party machines where there are allegations of so many different types of fraud and we can see that taken each type of fraud individually it does not appear to include large significant numbers that could change the outcome of the election. You know the argument that 10 votes here and a 100 votes there will not be enough to change the election.

What bothers me is like the scam I presented below we may not be looking at the forest because looking at only the 10 votes here and the 100 votes there we are just looking at trees. These 10 votes here, 100 votes there, 12,500 votes dumped overnight in a counting center, 4,500 votes flipped by a computer program written by a company with definite managerial ties to prominent Democrat politicians, who knows how many votes counted without Republicans able to verify a legal count, states changing laws to benefit mail in ballots which are subsequently counted without signature verification without observation, states Attorney General’s changing signature verification requirements, a complicit Twitter, Facebook, Amazon and mainstream media, COVID and it becomes easy to see that there is a pattern. A pattern in which suddenly, to me, it becomes plausible and within the realm of reason that the criminal Democratic Party organization could be pulling of a massive fraud against our country. This vote is so close that all of these seemingly unconnected “small” events could add up and that we of the United States are being duped and having our freedoms being stolen from us in broad daylight.

I do not accept the results of this election as it stands at this moment. This apparent fraud must be investigated and shown to not be fraud for me to accept the results. Do I expect the DOJ to open a RICO Investigation? No, I would imagine there is a snow ball’s chance in Hawaii of that happening. I notice the press is ramping up their reporting of the COVID spike on the heels of the COVID immunization announcement. States are beginning to shut down again and I cannot help but be cynical that the political class is using COVID yet again to shut down large public gatherings as opposition to the election results grows.

Now I hear calls to just accept the elections and agree that changing the voting process needs to happen from conservative sources. What?!?!? No! This is the type of acquiescing that has gotten us into this situation. Do you think the Democrat Socialists will allow the voting process to be changed in a way that disfavors them? It will be uncomfortable to stand up to the thugs, crooks, and bullies. Let me tell you that it was not comfortable for me to train, go and live in Afghanistan wearing my countries uniform. To you conservatives who want to just throw in the towel I say grow some fortitude because if you do not my time in the military for nothing!!!

Legitimacy

To be legitimate or not to be legitimate seems to be the question at hand in our country at the moment. Of course, I speak of the most recent elections held last Tuesday, November 3, 2020. This after Joe Biden and the media have begun pushing the agenda that Mr. Biden has won the election.

Sitting at my kitchen table letting my fingers push a key pad I am left wondering if my country and its institutions are nothing but a charade to prop up a corrupt, self-serving, parasitic ruling class in this country. A class that has no party affiliation other than to perpetuate their power and their families.

Let me state first and foremost that I do not recognize Joe Bidden as the President Elect any more than I recognize President Trump as the President Elect. What I do recognize is that everything about this election has a certain stench about it and I am starting to think that there is a vast attempt to disenfranchise me and, quite honestly, many other Americans.

It is my opinion that the big city political machines need to be destroyed and efforts must be made to ensure they never gain the power that they apparently still have. These political machines from New York to Baltimore to San Francisco including Chicago and other Democrat Party run cities in between have corrupted and laid waste to once great and vibrant cities and states. These political machines have created nothing more than a class of gentrified leeches and cheats who live off of the carcasses of these once great cities and states. Now, like a tape worm growing inside the guts of their host they want to spread their corruption to the White House and fundamentally change the whole country. It is time, if we want to save this constitutional republic, that we must first ascertain a proper diagnosis of the parasite so that a proper treatment to eliminate this parasite can be prescribed.

I do not care how many weeks it takes to sort out the allegations of fraud in the contested states so that only legal votes are counted. If a vote was received late, was of a dead person, or if machines had their software changed to miscount votes in favor of Joe Biden or even, quite frankly President Trump, then this needs to be rooted out and it needs to be rooted out now! This is not a can to be kicked down the road until a future date which is so often the default of the parasitical class. If you expect me to consider this election as legitimate then you need to convince me that this is a legitimate election! Oh and just because the Justice Department doing an investigation their findings alone will not convince me. As I wait for the Durham report and considering how little of the Justice Department’s bureaucracy has turned over since the Obama administration there are doubts in my mind at just how effective they can be.

These are dangerous times because if I am questioning the legitimacy of the election then how many others out there are coming to similar if not the same conclusions. I have to question returns that have what appears to be a very corrupt politician being propped up by what appears to be very corrupt political machines in corrupt cites and being protected by a corrupt media class who happens to be headquarted in many of these corrupt cities and states. Now we have members of these same big city parasites in both the media and government calling for the blacklisting of Trump staffers and supporters? This type of rhetoric is moving our republic down a path that does not have a good ending. Then again, perhaps this is the truly the end game of this minority of parasites which is to sow discord and create anarchy?

This comes back to what many consider to be chaos and uncertainty regarding the election and its results for me. It is better to ensure that the election is fair and that any votes cast illegally have been disqualified and endure the potential chaos that comes from a fair election than to go further down a road that delegitimizes our republic. After all I quite certain the loudest opposition to a fair election are those who would seek to delegitimize the republic and install a government more suitable to their ends. Ends that certainly are not beneficial to the population and country as a whole.

Yes, a constitutional crisis may ensue in which court precedent may need to be set. It will not be the first time this has happened and I pray to God I hope it is not the last time that it will happen. The Constitution was purposely made to be a living document so that it could change and flex as our nation aged and times changed. However, it was not made to be so flexible that it could be bent shaped and broken according to the whims of a small group of elite parasites. If we, as a nation, expect this republic to live what better time than right now to ensure that our elections are fair, clean, and legal? May the parasitical class thugs who are threatening violence if the election does not go their way carry through with their threats of coercion? Yes, they probably will and they should be held accountable. However, if the election is not shown to be legitimate we could presumably begin to see the disintegration of the republic in ways that will make the agitations of these thugs seem very minor in comparison.

I thank President Trump and his team for standing up to the bullies and thugs in the big city political machines and their lackeys in the press. For if President Trump will not stand up then who will? I know it certainly will not be the likes of Mitt Romney and the other RINOS in the Republican Party and most certainly not from the other side of the aisle in the Democrat Socialist Party ranks.

November 5, 2020 Observations

So, on Wednesday morning the remaining states who had not been called were Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and North Carolina and now maybe even Arizona but for the sake of this conversation I will not bring up Arizona. Except for Georgia every state has a Democratic governor. Likewise, except for Georgia and Nevada every state mentioned has a Democratic Attorney General. Does it make anyone else a little uneasy that the potential for these states that are closely contested to not get a fair representation on both sides of the aisle? Once again, the perception of fairness in the election is hard to maintain. Then with accusations of Republicans not being allowed to observe ballot counting in Michigan and Pennsylvania after massive ballot dumps one begins to question the legitimacy of an election that already reeks of illegitimacy. Especially when, as in the case of Michigan, one hears of a 100,000 plus ballot dump in which 100% of the vote went for Joe Bidden. The only thing I have to say to that is, “yeah right”.

Yesterday I took a drive around the Registrar of Voters in one of the counties in one of the contested states. The front of the county building which houses the Registrar of Voter office was filled with reporters and the parking lot their cars. I must admit there was a certain foreboding feeling coming from the space. I can only hope that strong, fair minded, objective people will rule the day in their counting and reporting of the election results. That all legal ballots are counted and that every rightful voter has their opinion recorded.
